    In our our age of manufactured and synthesized this and that. "Blues" being abused by people who think Joe Bonamassa with his sterile guitar shredding is blues - this sets the record straight. Takes it home to what blues is AND where it came from. It's great people want to reconnect with realness and rawness of blues. That aint SRV or Bonamassa and those that push rock as blues. Rock can't hold a candle to the real down home and heaviness of raw blues. Mr. Belton proves it in spades.

    In case you didn't know, the guy who filmed this, Alan Lomax, also recorded the first version of this song under the title "I Be's Troubled" on the Muddy Waters plantation recordings back in 1941 - the first time Muddy ever got his voice put on disk. We owe him more than we can possibly repay.

    God damn what a sound. That riff he does on the 5th string, the low 6th string rumbles on out of tune like rolling thunder in the background of the rhythm.

    Somebody said once that Muddy Waters was one of the rare musicians who influenced the music that influenced him. I think this tune by Mr. Sutherland is testament to that.

    I love that out of tune, rubber-band sound on the low string!!! It sounds so crappy but so undeniably perfect. Tuning would be Open G, but tuned DOWN *about* three half-steps first...so in the key of E. But then it seems like he's tuned the 6th string down an EXTRA octave to get that wonderfully awful low note...In standard pitch, low to high, (low)Ggdgbd.

    Reminds me of Harry Oster collecting folk blues in Louisiana (?) and some local bluesman performed Smokestack Lightning for him. Guess he had learned it off the jukebox from Howlin' Wolf! But that's the folk process. Oster did not know Wolf, apparently. But I love this local acoustic guitarist / blues singer -- his Blues #1 and #2 are wonderful. This is the richness of the traditional blues. All around great. You could mention Fred McDowell or Robert Pete Williams, too.
    Or, among white musicians, equally idiomatic, those mountain ballads that predated bluegrass and C&W.

  • @againsthesky
    @againsthesky 9 років тому +14

    as far as who borrowed what from whom in respect to this song and many blues standards period... There will never be a way to tell. Maybe Belton borrowed from muddy, maybe it was the other way around. I can guarantee you this though, whichever one of them it was, borrowed from someone before. Whoever it was borrowed from, they borrowed it someone, who borrowed it from some else who I can guarantee you've never heard of.

      againsthesky : Yes, back in the day, before greed and copyright laws, many of these old tunes, and bits and pieces of them, were used (borrowed) by other bluesmen. Son House used to take one phrase from half a dozen songs to make just one song. Honeyboy did too. The blues were alive! The songs evolved. They were a living thing, pulsating with life.
